Non-slip bath coating at your home in Trevenen Bal

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Trevenen Bal

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
